Scientific paper

We find an expansion parallax for the slow nova PW Vul (Nova Vul 1984 No. 1). A narrow-band Hα image shows that the diameter of the nova shell in 1993 was 1.1 arcsec. Shell components of the Hα emission line are identified, giving an expansion velocity of 470+/-60 km s^-1, a distance of 1.6+/-0.2 kpc, and an absolute magnitude at maximum of -6.3+/-0.3, typical for a slow nova.
